Technically Intimate / The Illuminati

Introduction

Since 2006 I have created two bodies of work, The Illuminati and Technically Intimate.

Both bodies center around technology and how it is shaping those like myself, whom have grown up in a world where we have never known what it is to be without technology, the Internet, and the ability to make instant connections with others around the world. For individual statements, please see my website evanbaden.com

Both bodies have been exhibited internationally with museums and galleries in London, Paris, Venice, Florence, Finland, The Netherlands, Germany, Canada, and throughout the United States. My work has been added to the collections of the Walker Art Center, Milwaukee Art Museum, FOAM Amsterdam, The Finnish Museum of Photography, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, and the Kinsey Institute. My work has appeared in numerous publications including TIME, The Guardian, FOAM, New York Magazine, Le Monde, D della Repubblica, DUMMY, Geo, and DIE ZEIT.

Process Statement
I work with a large format camera (4x5) and my prints are large, ranging anywhere from 30x40", 40x50", and 42x80". My imagery is highly constructed and filled with small details, which makes it all the more important to see the work at a printed size.
